Starting Christmas Decorating

I have to decide which of these adorable, hand knit Christmas trees I want to buy from my sister's Etsy shop.


I like the black and silver set if they are going in my library. ~


But then, the traditional red, green and white are awfully cute on top of my spice cabinet. ~


Or, I could go with the blue to match my cobalt kitchen accessories. ~


But, I just checked out her shop and saw these great, new teal ones! ~

Then, there's the hot pink, the natural browns .....

So many trees, so little time to decide!!!

These trees are 100% wool, hand made by my sister Knitter Extraordinaire and completely safe for pets and little tots.  As much as I enjoy pulling tinsel out a kitty's butt, this may be the safest route for me to go with Maeve in the house!

While I'm making up my mind which to choose, why don't you all go over and check out 2 Be Cherished here and pick out a set for yourself?  Come on back and leave me a comment to let me know which colour you love the most and I'll put your name in the hat for a draw.  On Sunday I'll pull a name and send the winner their very own set of fuzzy, hand knit Christmas trees!

Yay!  I get to give my very first Christmas gift of 2012!

  10. Hi Maureen ... glad you have your Christmas decorating started. I am trying to get the Fall decorations put away before I can start. I love your sister's knitted trees. I love the natural brown and tan but all are so pretty. She is very talented ... runs in the family, I guess.

  11. I like the variegated tan and light greys trees the best (I think) but to be honest - the comment about baby sweaters is what convinced me to pop on over - I have TWO grandbabies on the way!

  23. I found your site via Julie's Little House, it's always nice to meet another Canadian blogger.
    Those little trees are adorable and would look perfect in my holiday village. I like the variegated tans and gray ones.

  24. oops, border line to enter here Maureen, but never too late. Was looking for a centerpiece for this Christmas party and these would be perfect with some warm vanilla candles, some spruce and some wood accents.

    Getting married in a month and this Christmas we are celebrating it with Rohan's family (Because mine are 3000 miles east from where I am), for the first time. Such a great keepsake it would make.
